Please explain to me how we live in one of the mildest climates in the US and we lose power more than most. I lived on the east coast and Midwest for many years at a time and I swear that in 15 years here I have lost power more than the other locations combined!!!!

And when we did lose power it was because of hurricanes, ice storms etc. WTH IS GOING ON???

It’s simple, PG&E is allowed to set the price of electricity based on their costs, the more they spend the more they make.

The Governor appoints the PUC commissioners who go along without questioning why we have the second highest rates in the country.

PG&E donated $4 million to campaigns in 2018.

Curious. If planned, why would they conduct this in a business district at 8 am on a weekday? Why not the middle of the night when they are closed?

Looks like maintenance is being done to avoid lengthy winter outages.

I hope your right Jorge but don’t count on it. PG&E has lost all of its credibility in delivering sound reliable electricity to us its customers because of their total lack of self-awareness in providing such. Especially in the 21st century.

Instead, for years it’s been about profit (which I’m not against), over the safety and upgrades to their electrical grid here in California. I’m sure that politics has also played a huge roll in their gross negligence.

Don’t forget they have to come up with the funds for Newsoms’ elections campaigns so he’ll stacks the PUC with rubber stampers who pass every rate increase and don’t hold them responsible for their actions.

Not worse than the corrupt gop with the felons, pedophiles, bribed lobbyist, the list is so long it’s hard to keep track. Just this week Melania was paid $237,500 for one event, guess where the $ came from…


At least we don’t have another narcissist’s campaign from caldwell this time.

Melania aside, you have identified the Democrat party to a tee. ;o)

Wonderful news that Melania is pulling down that kind of coin. God bless capitalism!

It is, anytime the grifters take money from the rapists’ campaign is a good thing.
